Throughout its history, Allied has found ways to remain competitive and provide its clients with the finest products available. To its credit, in 1988 Allied joined a national purchasing and marketing cooperative called IDC-USA, which is an organization owned by independent distributors of industrial bearing, power transmission and industry-related products. Through IDC, Allied has access to over 70 suppliers and multiple product lines at substantial savings. As a member-owner (and one of the first to join IDC), Allied can purchase multiple products and provide its customers with several choices and outstanding products at very reasonable prices.
Moreover, belonging to the only bearing and power transmission cooperative in the world has other advantages as well. Aside from being able to buy collectively from a large pool of vendors at reduced savings, Allied can purchase IDC’s product line called IDC Select, and market it under its own private label. These quality products can only be sold by IDC members and again allows Allied a unique edge in the market.
Having the option to bring in a multiple variety of items from multiple manufacturers, under one shipment, with one invoice and prepaid freight, is a value-added service Allied's customers welcome. Allied is also aware of its good fortune through this association where it can feature more product lines with larger inventories and greater choices, and even have the option to purchase minimal orders it would not otherwise carry. With all these marketing advantages in its corner, Allied customers can make better decisions with more selection, and at savings they appreciate.
